I received this book from a co-worker who thought it would be a fun read for me
as we both are avid watchers of the SyFy series Ghost Hunters and talk
about the show and ghosts
as much as we can before someone gets weirded out. I
have always had a curiosity about the afterlife
and I love to read about people
who have had experiences or about mediums
and their connections to the spirit
world. So when I received Do Dead People Watch You Shower, it was so much fun
to read I read it in one day.

The book centers
around medium Concetta Bertoldi and her ghostly readings. I have to say that
anytime I approach one of these novels I do so with an air of caution, as some
mediums are more full of themselves than the afterlife. Concetta is not only
the real deal but this book really delivers the goods. It is a book that not
only gives you the good news but also the not so good news that is sometimes
left out by those so called mediums.

Do Dead
People Watch You Shower? The question was answered as yes, but not because,
as Concetta puts it, they want to look at us in a physical way. According to
Concetta, they want to be with us. The book is laid in a question/answer
style.

I know someone
out there is not going to believe everything this novel has to offer, but I will
offer a suggestion: read this with an open mind and heart. I have to say there
were parts of this book that I found fascinating, such as there is no religion
in the afterlife according to what Concetta has learned. I always was curious
how religion
played out on the other side, were people divided by religion after
they passed, Catholics
to the right, Jewish
folks to the left, Muslims
to the
right northwest, etc.

Another part I
enjoyed was the personal side of Concetta. She was married to a non-believer
and this put a strain on her personally and professionally, but thankfully it
all worked out.

I really enjoyed
the theory as to why we are all here. It is explained that we are pre-destined
from the moment we chose to be born. So if I am coming to earth to be a lawyer
and die from a heart attack
upon receiving my first case, then that is what it
is - it is the mission you chose - to come and learn and when it is over you go
back to the other side. This is profound to me on several levels because does
that mean you cannot change your destiny? If so, that explains why I never win
the lotto, close but no cigar.

I really enjoyed
this book. I have to say that some people may not be a fan of these views but
try to keep an open mind and really think about the answers you are being given
to the questions, which at times can be a little silly but its all in the fun of
this book.
